IIS4 and SSL 2

[mbr501]

We just setup a secure page on our webserver and purchased a global secure certificate from Verisign. In MMC, when I make that page secure, it automatically prompts the user from their browsers to enter the url with HTTPS:// as a prefix to the url.

Is there a way to have IIS automatically map to the secure page behind the scene so that the user can just enter the page without entering the

HTTPS://?

For example, I want to tell my users to go to the url

http://www.test.com,

but really IIS would then automatically point them to the secure page:

https://www.test.com.

Is this possible without having to tell them to prefix the url with

HTTPS://?

Thanks

select properties of the html file (within IIS) and under the FILE tab, you will see a redirection to a URL radio button.

Or, create a page at the non-secure URL and set it's META tag to redirect them to the secure version.

In ASP code, it's done like:
[tab][tt]Response.Redirect "./MyNewPage.asp[/tt]

In ordinary HTML it's done like:
[tab][tt]<meta http-equiv=&quot;refresh&quot; content=&quot;0; url=MyNewPage.htm&quot;> [/tt]
